R D Burman Death anniversary 2024: Intrinsically talented, both Burman and Asha Bhosle, separately and jointly, gave a new direction to Hindi film music. But to achieve this, Asha Bhosle and Rahul Dev Burman had to surmount a major `hurdle` -- creating a new identity distinct from their illustrious and established kin: elder sibling Lata Mangeshkar and father Sachin Dev Burman. And both succeeded -- with a combination of luck, support, their own undeniable virtuosity, and above all, their first joint effort.
`Chhote Nawab` (1961) was R.D. Burman`s first solo movie and though it did not make waves, he was a music composer in his own right. His hour would strike with `Teesri Manzil` (1966) -- for which hero Shammi Kapoor, producer Naseer Hussain and director Vijay Anand sought to take the credit for his selection, though Burman himself said that it was lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri who had recommended him.
